INDIANAPOLIS MARKETS.
The Rains of the Last Three Days Having
Beneficial Effect ON Trade.

The Rains of the Last Three Days Having a
Beneficial Effect Trade.
INDIANAPOLIS. Aug Is.
There is evidence on all sides that the rains of
the last three days which have touched all parts
of this State, have had beneficial effect trade
and while it will improve the corn crop more or
less. it insures good grass for the cattle from
now until rough fodder can be used to feed them,
and this is very important item. Taken as a
whole, there never were more substantial indi-
cations that we are to have a large and proita-
BILE fall trade than this year. Notwithstanding
the severe drought of the Northwest. the crops
of 1887 throughout the country will be very
large, and the general products of our indus
tries will be absolutely unexampled in the ag
grecate volume.
We have had ripples the surface Of finance
by large and reckless gambling operations of
spectators. but they have never touched the
business of the country. AT no time in the his
tory of the last half century have the people
been generally solvent and prosperous; never
been well equipped for liberal consumption
of our products, and that must make an i'm
mense fall trade. In prices to-day there were
but few fluctuations i'll values. The situation
with the wool market is practically unchanged
Business is not so active as it was at the CORE
spending period. 1886. The Western wool
buyers unable to obtain profitable price in
the East and consgnments are small Provis-
ion men report a steady and active market, and
a good deal doing in a iobbing way. The prod
uce markets fairly active. Apples i'm
proving in quality and cooking varieties in
abundance; fancy eating apples and pears. how
ever, are in light supply aud wanted. Water
melons and cantelopes in fair demand but lower
in price under large offerings. Peaches are in
moderate supply and fair demand at firm prices
Grapes but little demand; really choice fruit
the market. Supplies of Irish potatoes more
liberal but prices stiff at our quotations. Sweet
potatoes easier under increasing supplies.
Onions plenty and cheap. In groceries to-day,
there was nothing new to note; prices in the
main steady and firm.

ton to take hold. Corn was active and bidding

LISTENING WITH THE EYES.
How the Deaf Mutes Heard Servic,
in st. AIMS Church.


in st. AIMS Church.
From the Brooklyn Eagle.
An elderly man with gray beard and a
slender complement of gray hair stood at
the reading desk behind the chancel rail in
ST. AIMS Chapel (EpiscopaD yesterday after
noon in the full vestures of an Episcopal
clergyman, and went through what to an
ordinary person looked like an extraordinary
series of unintelligible maneuvers. His
fingers revolved about each other rapidly,
he patted his hands together, stroked his
breast, touched his forehead and pointed at
his congregation, who comprised a score of
men and women. Sometimes he used only
one hand in these motions, making the
fingers work very rapidly; at other times
both hands were used. The emphasis and
the punctuation used in these gestures was
apparent even to one who had never seen
them employed before.
The people who watched the minister were
deaf mutes of Brooklyn attending one Of
their regular services, which are held in st.
AIMS chapel twice month. Tho minister
WINS reading the Episcopal liturgy as it APP
pears in the present system of deaf mute
gestures, and the congregation were hearing
il by means of their eyes. The liturgy was
not cut at all, all the prayers were given
and all the psalms and scripture readings.
At the proper time the congregation knelt
and watched the prayer that was being said,
and at the conclusion said hearty "Amen''
| with their hands They sang the hymns,
too and joined in the responses with the
greatest interest, apparently, their gesticu-
t-lations being quite as pronounced and their
| faces as earnest as that of the minister.
After the prayers and hymns and scrip
! tllre readings the minister preached a
gesture sermon half an hour long from the
tenth chapter of st. John: II am the good
shepherd; the good shepherd giveth his life
for the sheep" The congregation sat with
| out motion till il was all over and the
and greeted each other and the minister
very warmly. Their fingers flew like light
ming as they asked and answered questions
! about their acquaintance and themselves.
| The minister was the Rev. Thomas Gal
| laudet, of the famous Gallaudet family,
| known all over the continent on account of
their work during the last two generations
for deaf mutes. He said, in answer TO the
reporters questions:
''Ifow do like to preach with my handsl
| Worry well. I've grown so used to il now
that think in the sign language and TO use
| il is second nature. We have two deaf mute
services in Brooklyn in Episcopal churches
] and one in ST. AIMS, New YORK The deaf
mutes attend fairly well, though few drift
away in infldelity. | am connected with
the deaf mute mission of the Episcopal
church, you know. We shold services in
every big city in the country now, the work
has spread so greatly
II thought that many Of the mutes could
read the lips and so could understand the
sermons and services in every churchr
''No; that system is very imperfect. Only
g few can read the lips. II is q kind OF in
tuition"

Mr.. Sutro's Novel Aquarium.
E-on, fba Sim Ei,onc;eco CoU

Mention has been made IN the newspapers
from time to time of an aquarium that Mr..
Adolph Sutro intended to build out upon
the ocean beach, near the Cliff House. Those
who have been out to the Cliff House and
have descended the steps that lead to the
beach viii doubtless have noticed little
cove sheltered between two high rocks about
100 feet from the steps. In this cove the
aquarium is now being built. The aquari-
UNI will consist of a round wall of rock so
feet in diameter, 10 feet thick, and IA feet
high, and win be roofeSs. The flooring will
be made in a unique way, according to Mr..
Sutro's plans. Solid pathways of rock will
be built around the interior of the aquari-
Iln and between them there will be little
ponds of water that will be and feet
deep at low water. The water will come
into these ponds from the ocean with fish and
other marine objects in the following man
ner: A tunnel 800 feet long and 8 feet
high will be bored through the rock between
the ocean and the aquarium, and at the
seward side of the tunnel there will be
wire-screen gates, which can be opened and
shut AT high tide the gates will be suffered
to remain open, so that the water and the liv-
ing objects in it can come into the aqua
rum. AT high water the whole aquarium
viii be flooded-the pathways and every
thing-and no one can go in then. When
the tide begins TO recede the gates are shut,
and only the water can flow through them.
The living objects viii be retarded, and will
seek the comparatively deep water in the
ponds, and thus they will be caught as in a
trap When the waters have receded suffi-
GENTLY from the pathways the public will
be adpitted inside the walls. Sea anemones,
devil fish, angel fish, star fish, crustaceans
Shells all varieties of large and small fish,
and perhaps even occasional seals may be
caught in this aquarium. AT low tide
there will always be something interesting
to see there.

Honorlng a Woman with Children.

When Nine. de Stael asked the Emperor
Napoleon what kind of a woman he con-
sdered most valuable to the empire, the
little Corporal wounded the sensitive feel

tentiously replying: 1.-The woman who has

third street with seven small children
of various ages. When the con-

THE AUTOMATIC KICKEH.
He Kicks at a Stranger and Tells
Story About Edwin Forrest.

From the Ne0 York EUeninq Sun. @
A faultlessly dressed, middle-aged gentle
man, with little gray side whiskers, carry
ing silver-topped cane, was standing on
the platform of the Third avenue ele-
waited railroad station at Twenty third street
yesterday afternoon A tall, portiy man,
with red beard, pressed close in front of
him. As he did so the gentleman with the
side whiskers suddenly elevated his left foot
and delivered a vigorous kick, which just
missed the big mans knee.
What in thunder do you meanN yelled
the big man, as he turned and glared me-
nacingly at the other
81 beg your pardon, sir, | couldn't help
it." was the hurried answer.
Couldn't help It'll"
mo, sir / have nervous affection in
my left leg. When it comes on must kick.
It's entirely involuntary and very mortify-
ing, l can assure you"
The big man passed on, looking far from
satisfied, but after he had watched the ele-
gantly- dressed man kick with great energy
at thin air five or six times in the next two
minutes he smiled broadly, and said to a
bystander:
IF L was that fellow I'd wear 10-pound
weight on my foot
THAT would be rather awkward" said
the kicker, who had overheard the remark,
but it might work I've had this trouble
for years. Edwin Forrest was afflicted in
the same way, though in milder form. He
once kicked an actor four or five times who
was marching in front of him in process
sion OF Roman soldiers, and it brought
down the house. If Forrest hadn't been
such big, muscular fellow he'd have had a
fight on his hands. Oh. lots OF people are
troubled that way, and
Just here the train came along, and the
gentleman with the automatic leg kicked
himself into the car.

ALMOST HIT BY A METEOR.
4 Phenomenon at Sea-Does it Ac.
count for Disappearing Vesselsp
IA. II


From the NeiU York World.
A remarkable story is related by Capt.
Swart, of the Dutch bark j. 7. A., now
preparing to sail for Quebec. The Captain
thinks that his theory, derived from a re-
cent experience, will account for the sudden
disappearance of many vessels at sea. He
says that March 10 his ship, while in lati-
tllde 1919 and longitude 81 west, met a
heavy storm At about 5 O'Clock in the
afternoon a meteor was observed hying
through the air. 1t looked like two balls,
one very black and the other brightly
illuminated The latter fell, and as It
seemed that it would strike the vessel she
was hove TO under storm sails The
meteor dropped into the sea close alongside,
making in its fight tremendous roaring
noise. Before reaching the water the upper
atmosphere was darkened, while below and
ON board everything appeared like sea Of
fire. The force of the meteor IN striking
the water caused heavy breakers, which
washed over the vessel, making her roll in
a dangerous manner At the same time the
atmosphere became umcomfortably warm
and the air was full of sulphur. Immedi-
ately afterward solid humps of ice fell on
the decks, and the decks and rigging became
coated with an icy crust, caused by the inn
mense evaporation.
The barometer during the phenomenon
oscillated so violently that no reading could
be taken. After close examination of the
vessel and rigging no damage was found on
deck, but ou the side where the meteor fell
into the water the ship appeared all black
and some of the copper sheathing was blis-
teiod.
